I see what you guys are talking about now.  Sometimes there is a 
considerable difference in traction between the wheel in the furrow and the
wheel up on the unplowed land with the wheel on the hard bottom of the 
furrow getting a better bite.  That would require some brake pressure
to compensate.

I don't know much about plowing but our one way disks tended to have
some side draft as they ran out to the left side all the time. We always
ran with the tractor drawbar un pinned so it could swing to find it's
own best angle of pull. This helped eliminate side draft. Only time I
recall using the brakes was on corners.
